Slander! Slander I say! How can you possibly use the word ethics when talking about the RIAA and lawyers? For most of them that is slander or at least a severe insult.
AMEN to that. When was the last time that a hardware component forced the case manufacturers to redesign their product? Everyone, we need to cut a hole in the side of the case to get air to our processor so it won't melt!
That hole is popularly known as a P4 port. If you put one in a case without it, you have no warranty.
I've done both and Windows re-installs better on a low level. The bottom line is that to get rid of the root kit completely, you need to format. As soon a root kit revealer or another utility shows capable of removing all traces of this one I will use it instead. I have always used the format as a last resort and would prefer to do anything else that works.
Win XP 64 is still not ready for prime time. The problem is drivers. To get an HP printer to work requires hacks, finding drivers is no fun at all. Since 80% of all the computers I've built in the last 6 months are AMD 64's for home use, this is a problem. If they insist on Windows, they get the 32 bit version. If there smart, they get Suse 10.0 which is a 64bit OS and works out of the box with very few driver issues, (high end video cards will always be a pain it seems).
"The final part is that Sony has to restore people's computers back to the pre-rootkit way. Of course, we have to assume they can do this properly."
That's easy, it's called format and re-install. Use Powermax to do a complete low level format of the hard drive, re-install Windows and all drivers, and then re-install all of your applications. I've had to do two so far at the white box store I'm a tech at. Pain in the ass - yes. I will save mydocs and pictures, but no music files. Cost? $75 - $85 for Windows, $10/app, $35 for data backup. It's a sorry ass way to have to do things, but anything else takes too much time, and time = $.
You're right, I missed that part. Obviously I'm not to good at Russian either!

How many times this year has the NYT had to print retractions? Or refused to, after stories were proved to be false? Close to ten and the year isn't over. Not to mention reporters fired for phoney stories. That whole chain of papers is only good for fish wrap or fireplace starter now, what a fall from where they used to be. It's amazing what can happen when opinion takes precedence over facts. One of these days they might get smart enough to take the golf shoes off before stepping on their dicks.
If you look at what the Russians succeeded in getting during the cold war, this rings very true. Fortunately by the time they figured out how to build what the stole, it was two generations behind.
If you are calling known terrorist lairs and especially known numbers, you will be tapped. The law does not apply to communications outside the borders of the US. Since the NSA has offices outside the US they just intercept them there, that is not a violation.
Don't forget with all the usual Bush bashing going on here that Clinton did the same thing in 94. Of course the newspapers buried it in the back, it's only front page news when Bush does it.
The studio execs don't know what to call it since it resembles nothing they have ever seen. Especially if the "bulge" is caused by balls. No studio execs have them in any identifiable size.
Rich? As a tech in a white box store, I make so much that I will loose my house in the next six months if I don't find something else. I was born and raised in New Mexico, the land of minimum wage for anyone without a PHD. Now in North Carolina doing better but not by a lot. I know what poor is, I owned a trailor in NM and rented for four years here before buying a house four years ago. As we said on Submarines, been there, done that!
Lets give everyone another chance to pay less attention to what they are supposed to be doing. Of course this also allows an excuse for even less social interaction, lets just break down real communication between people even further. Then we can all lament the collapse of society even more.
Smile and say hello to a stranger, it'll confuse the hell out of them.
Take a look through history, more moronic things have been done in the name of religion than all the rest put together. I include ALL religions, the worst being Chrisian, Muslim/Islam, and Jewish. If any of those involved had paid more than lip service to their religion, the Crusades amongst others would not have happened.
I will never buy another Sony product! Not just because of the DRM debacle but also due to shoddy workmanship in most products. Sony can come up with some of the best ideas there are, but they should license them out to be built by someone that can produce quality goods.
Why do I say this? Stereo - exchanged 3 times before the warranty ran out, CD player broke again a month later. PS2 - Son in law has had to send his back 6 times now for the infamous 1st Gen laser problem, sometimes it works, sometimes not. Wega 32 in TV - Friend had it in the shop more than his house for two years, several different problems.
Add the DRM to this and there is no reson to give them another chance.
Simple, It's called format & re-install. I hope everyone that has to use this solution will then send a copy of the bills to Sony. When they don't respond or laugh at you then take it to small claims court. A few million little suits like this will make something happen.
HR types think the worst case just like security types, they expect everyone to be as crooked as most corporate leadership seems to be, "he's going to screw us or he wouldn't be leaving". Add in the paper shufflers mindset: "never let common sense interfere with proceedure" and this becomes the normal way of doing things. Enjoy the vacation and go to your new job rested and relaxed.
In the late eighties (85 - 89) Wal-Mart had a policy for scan errors: Item free or $5.00 off, whichever is less. Multple items only counted once. We did bust several employees selling to their friends at reduced prices that they made up at checkout, but that was separate. We also caught price changers switching tags. That was always treated as shoplifting. It was somewhat confusing during the change over from individualy priced merchandise to the shelf tags and 100% scanning. I started as part time and left as an assistant manager, retail burn out strikes again.
I think your right. The actual wording is wrong for a government paper to any government or group. This just doesn't sound right.
I saw State Dept. documents back in the seventies, when ever we would get a port call in Europe, they always told us not to say anything about our boat being a Nuclear Sub so we wouldn't freak out the locals. This was 76 - 80 and overall members of the U.S. Armed Forces got treated better in Europe (except France) than we got treated at home.
There is a certain feel to any Govt. document and this doesn't have it. It is probably a fake for all the reasons listed in the parent and my own gut feel.

Don't forget my old favorite, "Military Intelligence".
Yes I served on Submarines during the Cold War.

Flash drives get priced competitivly with hard drives of the same size?

Been there, done that. I'm talking about the ones that come into the white box store I tech at.
When I was in college the first time, I did tune ups and carburetor overhauls for a case of beer.
Considering that 80% of their funding comes from M$, that's pretty accurate.

It's partially true. God gave man two heads, unfortunately he only gave us enough blood to use one at a time!
